In June 2022, unsubstantiated allegations that U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert had worked previously as an escort and had two abortions were widely circulated on social media. When Boebert addressed these claims, labeling them as fake news, many social media users responded by sharing a photograph that supposedly showed the congresswoman with two nearly naked men.

There’s no evidence that the woman in this photograph is Boebert. It has been circulating for years unattached to Boebert’s name. The claim that it shows her appears to have been made up out of whole cloth in an attempt to malign the congresswoman.

On June 15, 2022, the American Muckrakers PAC, the same organization that released damaging photographs and videos of U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn in May 2022, released a document alleging that Boebert had worked as an unlicensed escort and that she has had two abortions. The group claimed that this showed how Boebert, a politician who is anti-abortion and who touts family values, was a hypocrite.
